Foul Play
-
"I am speaking out for all those on CodeProject who spend time out of there life coming up with a good solution to help someone out only to be discredited!". If you have never been WRONGLY discredited for a good solution you posted then no I suppose I am not speaking on your behalf. However if you have ... then I kind of am like it or not!
Speaking on someone's behalf implies they feel the same way. So no, you're not.

A note to all of those on CodeProject. I do not understand why some people on here like to down vote others solutions for no reason! Perhaps they don't understand the questions clearly? Perhaps they have something against the author of the solution? For what ever reason it may be PLEASE STOP! There is no need for this. I have posted a few solutions on here after testing the OPs code myself and understanding the problem the OP was having I wanted only to help them out. Moments after posting the solution it was down voted even though it was valid. I feel some of you here on CodeProject are to concerned with getting points to realize the true meaning of the "Quick Answers" feature of this website that being to help people! What are points going to get you? A prize? NO! I started answering questions on CodeProject to help out people who are trying to learn programming cause I understand how difficult it can be when you are just starting out. I am a self taught programmer who had no one to turn to for answers and would not post my questions on the internet for fear of being ridiculed (which I see a lot of on here as well). I am most certainly not the smartest person around and will be the first to say so but I have learned a lot over the past 7 years despite the mental and physical problems I have had in my life and I only want to help. I truly wish this site did not reward points for helping people because then maybe people would focus more on solving the questions and less on getting some meaningless points. So go ahead and down vote me if you must take all my points away if you want! That is not why I am here and it should not be why you are here either. :sigh: :(

I was post be removed for ask question to have one on one help to apply great solution to my project. If post good code he should be willing to help other person to use it?
I am sorry I don't understand what you're saying to well but it sounds like you had a post removed for asking someone to explain there code to you? Well I assure you if it was me I would have tried to help. "If post good code he should be willing to help other person to use it?" Agreed! I always try to explain my code if asked to do so.

I feel your pain, though I guess I'm not so much frustrated with it as you are :) I've seen answers similiar to my own that got upvoted while my earlier posted answer got downvoted. I've already suggested to make comments mandatory when downvoting, but it didn't come through. Don't be fooled though, sometimes it is also the OP that downvotes. Giving a perfect valid answer that the OP does not understand might be reason for downvotes (and unfortunately many OP's in QA don't understand a lot). Then there's the people that expect an answer they can copy/paste into their own code which magically makes it work, but who simply get a link and the message 'RTFM'. While to me that is perfectly valid if the link does indeed elaborate on the OP's question many people are not amused by this and for them is a reason to downvote. There are a lot of lazy and unthankful people out there. I do it for the few people that can still be saved :)
It's an OO world.

Agree, couple of them always busy with creating reposts instead of edit & updating original questions.

}Mandatory comments for down votes is a great idea! Its is a shame they did not listen to you. I have also seen this happen to yours (and others solutions) and that is why I got aggravated not just because it was happening to me but because it was happening to a lot of people. I know sometimes my answers are not all they should be and when(if) those answers are down voted I see this as fair. And then there is the the other times when ... well I will give an example of a recent incident. I posted a solution for someone that I knew to be correct and only seconds after posting it was down voted to 1 star and a new(just posted) solution below mine that had very little relevance to the question was vote 5 stars! A little while later the OP returned voted my solution as the answer and thanked me very much for helping him cause he had been stuck for a while with this problem. Anyway thats life I guess. :confused:

Speaking on someone's behalf implies they feel the same way. So no, you're not.
I am sorry to have been a jerk to you. It has been a bad day for me. Please forgive me I have removed my slightly offensive comment to you and (except Albert Holguin) from another comment. Again I am sorry.
